Joomla 4 support?

Hey together,
As I think, Joomla 4 is very different. So we are currently investigating how to move JEM to Joomla 4.
I'm sorry, we had no time before the official release of Joomla 4 to develop a compatible version of JEM.

This project is done by spending our freetime so we can not promise. At the end of oktober, I will take a look, if we can proceed.

Greetings,
Egnarts

Hey together, bad news today.
I took a look on upgrading JEM to Joomla 4. But its more then replacing some classes.
My current progess is published here:  github.com/jemproject/JEM-Project/tree/JEM-4.0.0

With a script from bluefox, we got JEM installable on J4. Then I began to get the backend working.
The control panel and the event table in backend are visible (not good-looking, not full functionable).
After that, I tried to get the "Add Event" funktion working, but at this point, I stopped my work.

The problem:
JEM uses functions of J2.5 that aren't available in J4. Partitionally the are removed without replacement.
After some testing I found out, that also lot of Javascript handling of form entries etc. is outdated and does not work anymore.
I think, a whole rework of JEM is required.

In the end, I had to realize, that I don't have the skills of Joomla development and free time to move JEM to J4. I'm so sorry.

JEM uses functions that were integrated in J2.5. They had been set to deprecated in J3 and now with J4 they are removed.
For example Mootools has been replaced with Bootstrap and jQuery. So all functionality that is based on the old library has to be changed to use Bootstrap and jQuery.
